Brrrr there! Am I the only one who can’t seem to get up off the sofa to do chores because I’m so c-c-cold? There, I’m blowing the scent of my hot chocolate in your general direction ;-) I’m sharing a simple watercolored card today that I pulled from my ready to share stash. I simply cut and colored several layers of this sweet angel with my Tombow markers. I layered her on a combination of Spellbinders™ Long Classic Rectangles LG and Spellbinders™ Long Classic Scalloped Rectangles LG.
I hung a little gold ring to symbolize her halo! No bow, but a knot with wide ribbon to finish things off! My sentiment is matted by a layer cut using Fiskars Apron Lace Border Punch.

Okay, I’m going back to get under the sweet quilt my darling sister-in-law made me and hubby for Christmas. I hope my post finds you snuggling and cozy with your loved ones.

Hi Becca,
I haven’t left any comments lately. Blame it on being very busy. I have just looked through your recent cards and they are super. I love the way you ahve done the ribbon knot. your colouring is beautiful and soft.

Totally delightful, love the angel image.
Today in Moora Western Australia were I live it has been 40 degrees celcius for most of the day, thank goodness for reverse cycle airconditioning, but I don’t think I could handle the cold that you are experiencing.

Beautiful Becca! I have this set of Angels and forgot to bring it out at Christmas. It is always the right time for Angels though…..I know you agree :o)
Big hugs, Candy
hi becca,
often i have a look at your blog and think you make sutch winderful things.
your card today is amazing and has a stunning layout.
i have a question: i saw you used the fiskars apron lace punch around the edge. can i use this punch in the same way arround the edge like the treading water punch??? this would be great because i’m lookig to a an alternate to the new stampin up punches.
thanks for your help and kindness. :-)
warm greetings

Another beauty Becca. Beautiful colors chosen and that ribbon is so pretty. The lace punch used on the card makes the whole card pop, it nicely frames everything. TFS!!! :-]
Brilliant card Becca, love the colors, the lovely bow and the angel is adorable. Keep up the great work and continue to inspire.
Yikes, I’m with you, when will Spring be here? Beautiful color scheme Becca and I particularly love the patterned ribbon, what a lovely change. Your work is beauitful.

Love the card, love the stamp…angels are among us!! Thanks for sharing.
OMGosh…….this is another beautiful creation……love it ….and I love the way you did the border with the apron lace punch……and love your bow too……thank you Becca for showing us your creations………
p.s. It’s very cold here in Tennessee with 29F……
Beautiful! Absolutely Beautiful!
Simply gorgeous card, Becca! I love the colors and layering of the angel, and your compositions are always so inspiring. LOVE the patterned ribbon knotted – you have the most exquisite ribbons!! Mostly, today, I appreciate the reminder that we have angels! Sometimes you just need to be reminded of His love! Thank you.
Forgive my lack of feedback for so long. I am like a bear hibernating. I look at your blogfeed every day and as always am in awe of your talent.
I feel I have to add a comment today as the card is so beautiful.
I adore your ribbon and to tie a knot instead of a bow is wonderfully brave and so gorgeous. The stamp is adorable and your use of Nesties as inspiring as ever.
Happy New Year to you and may your Blessings be many.

I open your blog as soon as I get a message~! Your cards are beautiful!!! If it makes you feels better, sunny FL is f-f-reezing! We are not as well insulated in our homes! I’m going to need an angel for the electric bill this month! How do you do such outstanding bows-I think you need to give us a tutuorial!
This is really gorgeous! Your style is ALWAYS amazing and elegant…thanks for sharing your talents.

Hi Becca,
Such a sweet creation. Your coloring is great. Gotta love Tombow markers and water color paper. Keep warm under that quilt ;-) .
Warm hugs,
~~Diane~~
I visit your blog everyday and am always amazed by your creations.
Is your ribbon two-sided? If not, how did you tie such a beautiful bow with the printed side up? Stay warm and don’t forget the marshmallows!
I love love love this card. Angel stamps/cards are one of my favorite. I am always looking for inspiration to use my angel stamps. Thanks for all your inspiration that you share.
LOL I need to have hot chocolate now !!
Your card is beautiful.The ribbon is perfect:)
Beautiful watercoloring, Becca!
Yes, it has been brrrrrrittlly cold here in Hernando MS too. But it has warmed up some. I can hardly wait for Spring. I do love seeing your beautiful cards and creations…. Thank you for sharing.

She really is sweet, and I love how you used several layers to give her dimension. All the elements of your card go so well together, right down to that gorgeous ribbon! Just lovely!
Loved the angel on this card and went to both Inkadinkado and Stampendous and couldn’t find it…..could you please tell me where I can buy this stamp.
Mmmm good! hot chocolate scent – ‘sent’ our way. :-) Actually we are happy because it has warmed up to -20 degress because it was -40 degrees. I so enjoy visiting you each day. Your projects are so uplifting. I love this angel card! Thanks for sharing yourself!! with us.
Beautiful! The ribbon is so pretty and adds just the perfect finishing touch!
absolutely beautiful. I love the way you can fit “larger” ribbon onto your cards. Mine always looks overpowering…I’ve got to learn to do this better…
Becca,
This is so sweet and pretty! I believe in angels too!
Hugs,
